Risk assessment and prediction of occult uterine sarcoma in patients with presumed uterine fibroids before high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment. Int J Hyperthermia 2024; 41:2385600. [PMID: 39084650 DOI: 10.1080/02656736.2024.2385600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 07/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a diagnostic model for predicting occult uterine sarcoma in patients with presumed uterine fibroids. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 41631 patients with presumed uterine fibroids who presented for HIFU treatment in 13 hospitals between November 2008 and October 2023. Of these patients, 27 with occult uterine sarcoma and 54 with uterine fibroids were enrolled. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistics regression analysis were used to determine the independent risk factors for the diagnosis of occult uterine sarcoma. A prediction model was constructed based on the coefficients of the risk factors. RESULTS The multivariate analysis revealed abnormal vaginal bleeding, ill-defined boundary of tumor, hyperintensity on T2WI, and central unenhanced areas as independent risk factors. A scoring system was created to assess for occult uterine sarcoma risk. The score for abnormal vaginal bleeding was 56. The score for ill-defined lesion boundary was 90. The scores for lesions with hypointensity, isointensity signal/heterogeneous signal intensity, and hyperintensity on T2WI were 0, 42, and 93, respectively. The scores for lesions without enhancement on the mass margin, uniform enhancement of tumor, and no enhancement in the center of tumor were 0, 20, and 100, respectively. Patients with a higher total score implied a higher likelihood of a diagnosis of occult uterine sarcoma than that of patients with a lower score. The established model showed good predictive efficacy. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrated that the diagnostic prediction model can be used to evaluate the risk of uterine sarcoma in patients with presumed uterine fibroids.

Hou Q, Li X, Huang L, Xiong Y, Feng D, Zhang Q, Zeng X, Yang Y, Liu T, Li Y, Lin Y, He L. Transvaginal natural orifice endoscopic surgery for myomectomy: Can it be a conventional surgery? Front Surg 2022; 9:1013918. [PMID: 36406374 PMCID: PMC9672342 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.1013918] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Accepted: 10/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION As a new minimally invasive surgery, transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) has been proved to be suitable for the treatment of a variety of gynecological benign diseases. However, compared with other minimally invasive surgeries that have been widely used, such as conventional multiport laparoscopy and transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS), their advantages and disadvantages and how to choose are still unknown. The purpose of our study is to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the three minimally invasive surgeries in myomectomy and to provide theoretical basis for the wider development of vNOTES surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study included 282 patients at our hospital who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy from May 2021 to March 2022. Based on the surgical approach, patients were classified into multiport, transumbilical LESS, and vNOTES groups. The patients' demographic characteristics and follow-up data were collected during the perioperative period and at 1 month postoperatively. RESULTS Among the three procedures, vNOTES had the shortest anal exhaust time but also the highest postoperative infection rate. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the operative time increased by 3.5 min for each 1 cm increase in myoma, and intraoperative bleeding increased by approximately 12 ml. The average duration of single pores increased by 25 min compared to that of multiports, and the operative duration increased by 10.48 min for each degree of adhesion. CONCLUSIONS For gynecologists who have mastered vNOTES, this procedure has the same efficacy and safety as the two existing minimally invasive surgeries in myomectomy, but it shows obvious advantages in postoperative recovery.

Effect of Two-Port Laparoscopic Surgery on Pregnancy Outcomes of Patients with Concurrent Adnexal Masses. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11164697. [PMID: 36012938 PMCID: PMC9409682 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11164697] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Revised: 07/29/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Adnexal masses are common in pregnancy, with 2–10% of pregnancies presenting with an ovarian mass and approximately 1–6% of these masses being malignant. For suspected malignancy or masses with symptoms, surgery must be performed as early as possible. We retrospectively investigated the effect of two-port laparoscopic surgery on the outcomes of patients with concurrent adnexal masses between 2012 and 2019 (including large mucinous tumor, large teratoma, serous borderline tumor, and heterotopic pregnancy). Laparoscopic right partial oophorectomy was performed for a 27 cm ovarian mucinous tumor at a gestational age (GA) of 21 weeks, laparoscopic right oophorocystectomy for an 18 cm teratoma at a GA of 10 weeks, and laparoscopic left salpingo-oophorectomy for a 7 cm serous borderline tumor at a GA of 7 weeks after ultrasonographic confirmation of an intrauterine gestational sac with a fetal heartbeat. Laparoscopic excision of a tubal pregnancy was performed in a heterotopic pregnancy at a GA of 12 weeks with massive internal bleeding. Laparoscopic surgery is easier and safe to perform during early pregnancy because a smaller uterus allows for superior visualization. All of these patients had optimal postoperative recovery and normal spontaneous delivery at term. We discussed several aspects of treatment and delivery, namely treatment option (expectant management or surgery), surgery timing (early or advanced pregnancy), surgery type (laparoscopy or laparotomy), and delivery route (normal spontaneous delivery or cesarean section), in patients with concurrent adnexal tumors and their effects on pregnancy outcomes.
